MELBOURNE, June 8. A slight shock of earthquake was felt in this city yesterday. The Defence Commission recommend that Queensland should undertake the defence of Thursday Island, and provide for it a permanent garrison, the other colonies sharing in the cost. The Commission also recommend a simple defence of the Port Darwin landing place for the telegraph cable, in order to prevent the telegraph station being surprised.
